Make a Quilt in a Day Log Cabin Pattern by Eleanor Burns (1999, Paperback)

The instructions are very easy to follow, even for a new beginner. The illustrations are excellent and so easy to follow. I bought it because I lost my book.

THIS BOOK WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I WACHED ALOG CABIN QUILT IN A DAY ON TV AND ILOVED IT AND I LOVE THIS BOOK, I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL QUILTERS, BEGINNING QUILTERS TOO.

I bought it because I quilt I had a copy, but I guess in my many moves in the navy it got miss placed or lost so I bought a replacement.I thought it was an original with the color photos like the one I had but it turned out to be a photo copy the seller might not have known. But all in all it is sufficent for what I needed it for. I liked it I thank the seller. It was the cheapest one I had found. I'm not upset that it was a photo copy I am just stating the facts. I will enjoy using it.

This book is great, easy directions, good pictures, many pictures & layouts. I made a quilt in a day.

Eleanor Burns has made the Log Cabin Pattern very easy and simple to do, all with just basic strips of fabric sewn together then cut to size (how simple).
Eleanor Burns has added more color to this edition of the basic Log Cabin Pattern there are many design variations throughout the book which gives you many layout styles to choose from (such as Barn Raising, Furrows and a Beautiful Star layout). So, why not grab some fabric, cut to size your strips, sew them together, and cut them to size again. Using your book to follow the easy instructions can help you reach your goal of having a completed quilt. The book also includes instruction for two different methods for finishing your quilt top, there is the quick turn and tie method which can be great for some beginners to use and also the machine quilt and bind method to finish your quilt top. Before you know it, a beautiful quilt in your color choice will appear and be ready for any room.

The Log Cabin Pattern is simple enough for a Beginner Quilter and challenging enough for an Advanced Quilter, with the many color choices and layouts associated with this pattern. This can become a pattern you may find yourself turning to for quick gifts for friends and family members. You can make anything with this pattern from a quilt to home decor like a pillow.

I decided to purchase this book because I wanted to use the easy instructions Eleanor Burns is known to demonstrate and to see the many layouts I could choose from and make a simple and fairly quick quilt for my bed. I finished my quilt in approximately 3 days from start to finish, it was a Full Size Quilt.
I cut my fabric one day, I sewed my strips together one day and I choosed the simple quick turn method to finish my quilt.

I hope that I have inspired newbies and advanced quilters alike to gather their fabric and sewing supplies and sit at their machines to create a work of art, known as the Log Cabin Quilt. Enjoy!

Anyone wanting to make a quilt in a hurry will love this book. Instructions are clear and methods are very smart. A great beginner project, too.

Eleanor Burns is a legend in quilting. I have been wanting her first book for a while but haven't seen it for sale in bookshops in Australia.
She really 'invented' fast strip quilting and the explicit instructions she gives, are easy enough for a beginner like me.
I'd really recommend this book for fast piecing.

I can't give a totally unbiased review because I paid for the book through Pay Pal and I have never received it. I requested some kind of response from the seller via ebay, but never received any response from the seller. So my review is dismal.

everything was in pristine condition, and is an extremely easy to follow, step-by-step guide to making log cabin quilts. great purchase, well worth it - thanks!

It was reviewed favorably on several sites and was everything they said it would be. The arrived quicly and in excellent condition...it was a very positive experience.

The book is wonderful. It should be in every beginning quilters list of books to buy. It already is been used so much by a long arm quilter friend of mine over the years. That is why I bought this book so she could have a copy in case her very used book falls apart.

When I was a new quilter, this is the first book I work with to make a 45 X 60 crib size quilt. The directions, how to photos and the several helpful hints sprinkled through out the book are great. You can have log cabin fever, ask most any one who uses this book, it can be additive( In a good way) then you will mostly move on to other books in the Quilt In a Day series, but you will alway come back to the one you used first.

I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book for log cabin ideas, just what you need to get started . Very easy to follow instructions.

I bought this book because it tells you step by step on how to make this quilt. Love the book. This book rates very high in my eyes. It is also very easy to follow.
